Mesoamerican religion

The religious systems of pre-Columbian Mesoamerica—Aztec, Maya, and others—were organized around cosmic cycles and the necessity of ritual sacrifice to maintain universal balance, with sophisticated astronomical knowledge and a worldview radically different from European frameworks. Understanding them requires setting aside the impulse to judge and instead recognize them as coherent solutions to different existential questions about how to live in a cosmos demanding reciprocal obligation.
